Wang Zheng and the others didn't know the second step of the plan, mainly because they were anxious to set off. In fact, the second part of the plan was also simple. For example, Li Ke's caravan was trading in a certain tribe, and suddenly Murong Shun attacked!
The nobles of this tribe were massacred by Murong Shun in order to protect the caravan, but a "warrior" of this tribe saved the caravan. The person in charge of the caravan was very angry! Protest to Songtsen Gampo! And want to express my gratitude to this brave man.
In this case, because all the nobles to whom this tribe originally belonged died, Songtsan Gampo wanted to stabilize the caravan leaders and prevent them from being angry and complaining to Li Ke, so it was very reasonable to grant a "warrior" noble status. Bar?
In addition to these, and by controlling some tribal leaders through bribery, threats, etc., it will naturally be much easier to spread the ideas of the Tang Dynasty to the people at the bottom and spread the ideas of His Highness.
And people for another project are also being selected.
…
In Baihai (later Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake in Qinghai), after getting up, Duoji silently prayed in a felt tent of his own. May the God of Immortality bless His Highness King Qin to live a long life, preferably immortality!
After praying, Duoji kowtowed devoutly several times in the direction of Qinghai Lake that the captain told him, and then stood up silently.
No one else saw this, only himself.
After leaving the felt tent, Dorje was about to go to his own sheepfold to graze the sheep. However, before he could reach the sheepfold, there was a horse galloping in this direction in the distance. Dorje immediately stopped working and waited. In place.
Although he was already a commoner and subject of the Tang Dynasty, his long-term life in Tubo made him subconsciously think that he was a slave. The habits of so many years could not be changed overnight.
When he could see the face of the visitor clearly, a smile appeared on Duoji's face. It was their captain, Lin Quan.
"Captain Lin." Duoji hurriedly greeted him after the other party arrived on horseback.
"Duoji, how are you today? Did the ewe that gave birth yesterday go well?" Lin Quan asked with a smile.
"It went well, it went well, thank you Captain Lin." Duoji said hurriedly.
"Hey, you don't have to be so polite. My mission is to ensure that you people can survive the winter smoothly today. You have to take good care of the cattle and sheep assigned to you. During this winter, His Highness said that he will lend them to you new herdsmen. A batch of food to ensure that you can survive the winter safely." Lin Quan said.
"Captain, I..." Duoji wanted to speak, but he felt something was blocked in his throat and couldn't say it, because he never thought that one day he would have his own cattle and sheep, and he and his wife could have their own felt tent. , and you also have the opportunity to buy your own clothes and even eat noodles.
Before, they could only eat highland barley and wheat bran, which was not enough.
He escaped from Tubo with his family. It was the herdsmen from Tuyuhun who told them about the situation here and asked them to come over.
Duoji really couldn't live anymore. His child was sick. If he didn't run away, he would definitely die there because they couldn't even eat enough and the child couldn't bear it anyway.
So he took the risk and ran away to Datang.
It’s just that he never thought about it. He originally thought it was a fake thing. He originally thought that there would be no nobles willing to give them black noodles mixed with bran, give them cattle and sheep, and allow them to eat well and wear warm clothes. , how could it be the turn of slaves like them to have such delicacies that can only be found in the fairy world.
But after arriving, he discovered that all of this was true!
The other party even said it was less! There is a gentle captain here who is like an elder brother. He is a noble in Tubo, but the other party can talk to him peacefully without saying a word, and he also takes the initiative to help him, letting them settle down and providing them with felt tents.
He even took the initiative to find a doctor for his children, asked about their symptoms and got them medicine.
In fact, his child is not sick, it is mainly caused by hunger.
And now it's better.
Duoji has never dared to think about such a life, and things he never dared to think about have happened to him. The most important thing is that no one here has ever yelled at him, beaten or scolded him. , only speaking gently and asking if he needs help.
Duoji, his wife and two children cried countless times. Before going to bed and after getting up every day, they prayed devoutly to the Changsheng Heaven to keep His Highness the King of Qin safe and healthy.
Such an existence like the incarnation of the Immortal Heaven, like an existence like a god, should always shine on the world.
His heart is as pure and flawless as the snowflakes on the towering sacred mountain, his mind is as broad as the sky, and he should soar in the world like an eagle.
"Okay, no need to say more, I know that you have told me many times, I know that you are grateful to His Highness, and I am grateful to His Highness, but His Highness said that if you live your life well, it is the best for His Highness. I'm so grateful." Lin Quan said with a smile.
"Yes, I understand." Duoji nodded seriously.
"By the way, have you seen Dali recently?" Lin Quan asked.
"No, what happened to him?" Duoji was stunned for a moment and asked immediately.
"Hey, he ran back to Tubo on horseback. He said he wanted to go back and bring his parents over. His parents are in another tribe. The problem is that the border between Tubo and Tang Dynasty is not safe now. If you want to find someone, Your Highness will meet later. Give him this chance and he can go back by himself, where can he bring others out?" Lin Quan sighed.
Duoji was stunned for a moment, because Lin Quan's words reminded him of his younger brother, who was still in Tubo.
"Your Highness...will there be a chance for us to bring people out?" Duoji suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Lin Quan looked at him with some confusion, "Yes, because Tubo is not good for us, the Tang Dynasty, and His Highness has also seen the miserable life of the Tubo slaves, so His Highness wants to rescue all the Tubo slaves, but this matter We have to take a long-term approach, we have to get some people to sneak into the Tubo tribe first and help His Highness get information first."
"After all, it's impossible for a large army to enter Tubo without understanding many things."
"Hey, why am I telling you this? You should take good care of your sheep. Winter is coming soon. After this winter, next year will be better. Next year, none of you will be short of food and clothing." Lin Quan smiled and patted Duoji on the shoulder.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving first. I have to go over there to say hello and ask someone to find Dali." Lin Quan walked to his horse and said.
"Captain." Duoji, who had always been taciturn, suddenly raised his head and shouted.
"What's wrong?" Lin Quan looked over with some confusion.
"Captain, His Highness needs someone to sneak into various tribes in Tubo to find out information, right?" Duoji asked.
"Yes, His Highness is already arranging soldier training." Lin Quan nodded.
"I want to go!" Duoji said directly.
"What did you say?" Lin Quan thought he didn't hear.
"Captain, I said I want to go!" After repeating it, Duoji's tone became more determined. He looked at Lin Quan seriously. He had never had the opportunity to control his own destiny in the first half of his life, except for escaping to Datang. That matter, and now, he made a decision again, but suddenly he felt as if he had a clear goal, and even his thoughts became clearer than ever before.
"Captain, I am a Tibetan, and no one knows Tubo better than me. If I go, I can easily sneak in, and I have a brother in another tribe, and I can go to him. No one is more suitable than me. Yes." Duoji said seriously.
"Duoji, it is dangerous to go to Tubo. You may never come back and die there if you are discovered. You finally came to Datang and live a good life! These things should not let ordinary people like you To bear it, these are things soldiers do, do you understand?" Lin Quan asked seriously.
"No, captain. I have thought clearly. If His Highness needs me to fight, I can also be a soldier. And I came to the Tang Dynasty, and there are many people who have not come to the Tang Dynasty, so... I think... I think Let them live the same life as me. As for the dead people... My mother-in-law and children have come to Datang, and they have lived a good life. That's enough." Duoji's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Lin Quan looked at him silently, paused, and then said: "Go back and discuss it with your family. If you really think about it, come to me tomorrow morning."
"Um!"
